Framed
Eminem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Having creepy visions of whiskey drinking
And envisioning sneaking into where Christie Brinkley dwells
I know this is risky thinking but I wanna stick her like she's decals
But when murdering females
Better pay attention to these details or you could be derailed
Better wear at least three layers of clothing or be in jail
If you get scratched because your DNA'll
Man, he hears you, I don't think he cares
He gives a fuck, even his pinky swears
Three personalities burstin' out of me, please beware
Her TV blares, can't hear the creaking stairs
She's unaware in no underwear, she's completely bare
Turns around and screams, I remember distinctly
I said, "I'm here to do sink repairs"
Chop her up, put her body parts
In front of Steven Avery's trailer and leave 'em there
But hey man, I was framed
I know what this looks like, officers
Please just give me one minute
I think I can explain
I ain't murdered nobody
I know these words are so nutty
But I'm just here to entertain
How come your shirt is so bloody?
There's a missing person, so what? He's
Got nothin' to do with me
I'm almost certain I was framed
Woke up, it was dawn, musta knew somethin' was wrong
Think I'm becomin' a monster 'cause of the drugs that I'm on
Donald Duck's on, there's a Tonka Truck in the yard
But dog, how the fuck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?
Gotta get to the bottom of it to try to solve it
Must go above and beyond, 'cause it's incumbent upon me
Plus I feel somewhat responsible for the dumb little blonde
Girl, that motherfuckin' baton twirler that got dumped in the pond
Second murder with no recollection of it
Collectin' newspaper articles, cuttin' out sections from it
Memory's too fucked to remember, destructive temper
Cut my public defender's jugular then stuck him up in a blender
Another dismembered toddler discovered this winter probably
'Cause the disassembled body
Was covered up in the snow since the month of November oddly
I'm wanted for questioning
Them son of a bitches probably just wanna pin this on me
But hey man, I was framed
I know what this looks like, officers
Please just give me one minute
I think I can explain
I ain't murdered nobody
I know these words are so nutty
But I'm just here to entertain
How come your shirt is so bloody?
There's a missing person, so what? He's
Got nothin' to do with me
I'm almost certain I was framed
Still on the loose, they
Spotted me inside McDonald's Tuesday
In a Toronto Blue Jays cap, lookin' like your college roommate
With Rihanna, Lupe, Saddam Hussein, Bobby Boucher
Or was it Cool J? The cops is on a goose chase
Just escaped from the state pen
For eight women who hate men
Don't make it no weirder, I'm naked
When I break in your basement
Under your baby's play pen, I lay in, wait adjacent
Facin' the door, remainin' patient while stayin' complacent
Blatant sexual implications are continuin' to get thrown
Insinuations are placed in little riddles and poems
Left on your pillow in hopes, that when you get home
You'll get the hint, ho, I'm in your window
But it never occurred to me I could describe a murder scene
In a verse and be charged with first degree
'Cause it just happened to match up perfectly
With the massacre or the Burger King burglary
No, officer, you see
I was framed
I know what this looks like, officers
Please just give me one minute
I think I can explain
I ain't murdered nobody
I know these words are so nutty
But I'm just here to entertain
How come your shirt is so bloody?
There's a missing person, so what? He's
Got nothin' to do with me
I'm almost certain I was framed
"Framed" is a song by Eminem that was released in 2017 as part of his album "Revival." The song is primarily about a man who is accused of murder and insists that he is innocent and framed. Eminem shifts between different personalities throughout the song, which adds more complexity to the song's meaning.
In the first verse, Eminem raps about his twisted fantasies, which involves stalking Christie Brinkley and killing her. He acknowledges how risky these thoughts are and how dangerous they are for women in general. In the next verse, Eminem wakes up to find that he has been drugged and discovers that Ivanka Trump is in the trunk of his car. He realizes that he might have become a monster because of his drug use, and he must solve the mystery of what happened.
The bridges in the song talk about Eminem's desire to entertain and how he believes that everything he creates is just for entertainment. Eminem again insists that he is innocent and emphasizes that he cannot be responsible for missing persons.
Overall, "Framed" is another gruesome addition to the rapper's catalogue utilizing imagery to shock and provoke. It also touches on the question of responsibility in entertainment.

@David-bg7ei
Verse 1: Slim Shady
Verse 2: Marshall Mathers
Verse 3: Eminem
Listen closely to how he changes the flow and the writing style in each verse and you'll hear it…
Verse 1: You can tell this is Shady by the ridiculous accent and continuous word flow (ie. "having creepy visions of whiskey drinking and envisioning sneaking into where Christie Brinkley dwells" almost all these words rhyme with each other in the duration of 2 bars). Also, Shady tends to use people's names to express what he's trying to say rather than simply saying it (ie. Too $hort's "Freaky Tales", Christie Brinkley, Steven Avery). An honorable mention is that Shady is infamous for talking about alcohol ("having creepy visions of whiskey drinking")
Verse 2: You can tell this is Marshall because of the aggressive tone, slower flow, and more honest undertone (ie. "think I'm becoming a monster cause of the drugs that I'm on"). Also, unlike the other two verses in this song, in this one he seems to not remember any of his murders. It makes sense because Marshall, compared to the other two personalities, has barely murdered anyone in previous songs and is more human, so he's being framed by them.
Verse 3: You can tell this is Em because of the more shifty flow, more complex rhyme scheme, verbal threats, and his references to pop icons. Unlike the previous two verses, Em strings together multiple words to create rhymes and mostly puts his rhymes at the ends of the bars. Unlike Shady, he names people for the sake of rhyming, rather than for painting an image, and unlike Marshall, who names people to move the audience's emotions. Eminem is known for threatening to kill people (especially in a calculated manner, unlike Slim who kills people almost randomly and out of sheer whim, and Marshall who kills people out of an almost blind rage).
I know, I know, I'm a Stan. But hey, the more you know!
Edit: I was looking back at this comment (thanks for the likes) and realized that if my theory is true, then the personalities are presented to us in this song in the same order they were presented to us in the beginning of his career with his first albums; Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show.
Edit 2: I can't believe I got a thousand likes from this stupid comment. I just made it as a little fun theory after listening to the song a lot, but I guess some people think I'm reading way too much into this (which I probably am). It really came from the part where he says "three personalities bursting out of me please beware."
